Youth Congress election: Fake ID Cards become a political headache
The Youth Congress election is heading for a big controversy. The police have already registered a case for voting by making fake election cards widely. The police have decided to conduct an investigation focusing on the software used for creating bogus ID Cards.
Police will also send notices to Youth Congress leaders to appear for questioning.
The police are receiving information about the faker from the Youth Congress itself, which is fuming with discontent after the elections. The investigation team also believes that if the statements of those who filed the complaint are taken, they will get crucial information. There are many hurdles in front of the police to prove the complaint of voting by making a fake identity card. Voting was done through the application 'With IYC'. It is the Indian Youth Congress' official smartphone App.
All fake cards have the same number. In order to get the information of those who voted using these cards, the agency that conducted the election will have to hand over the information on their servers to the police.
